The Wild Country Helm Compact 3 is built for adventurers who need a lightweight, pack-friendly and reliable three-person backpacking tent for multi-day trips. Ideal for bikepacking, cycle touring, long-distance walking and discreet wild camping, it delivers exceptional stability, space and simplicity without adding unnecessary bulk to your kit.

Weighing just 2.83kg (minimum weight) and packing to only 30cm x 24cm, this tent is easy to carry on a bike, motorcycle or rucksack. Inside, its generous 225cm length and 167cm width provide comfortable sleeping space for three, or a luxurious two-person set-up with extra gear. The semi-geodesic, free-standing structure ensures dependable stability on uneven or rocky terrain and allows the tent to be repositioned before pegging, giving you more flexibility when choosing a pitch.

Two large side doors and twin porches offer practical access and gear organisation, helping to keep wet boots, rucksacks and cooking equipment neatly separated from the sleeping area. A rear storage space, accessible from the inner, provides additional room for storing kit out of the way.

For 2025, the Helm Compact 3 has been updated with eco-conscious materials, including a recycled, PFC-free inner and groundsheet. The solution-dyed flysheet improves UV resistance and colour durability while reducing environmental impact. With a 4000mm hydrostatic head flysheet and 5000mm groundsheet, it delivers reliable three-season weather protection even during extended rainfall.

Practical detailing such as Easy Pitch, Easy Pack, reflective guylines, durable Superflex alloy poles and 12 V-angle pegs ensure secure pitching and fuss-free pack-away. With a lifetime materials warranty and a two-year accidental pole replacement guarantee, the Helm Compact 3 offers long-term value and dependable performance for countless adventures.
